DA rules police shooting justified

SALIDA - The district attorney for Salida has ruled that law officers who shot and killed a 36-year-old parolee in May were justified in using deadly force.

Thom LeDoux called the actions of the officers heroic after they killed Theodore Vanosdall after he fired at the officers.
